The same kind of dichotomy is true of our world. On one side is the organics' world -- including us and other organisms with awareness. On the other side is the inorganics' realm -- entities with awareness but without organic beings. "The structure of their world is different but complimentary to ours." The sorcerers found that the inorganic beings came to them in dreams. Dreams, at least certain kinds of special dreams, are "trap doors" that open for passage into the inorganic beings' side of the universe, and that allow them passage into our world. Only in dreams can we balance our energy sufficiently to perceive this other realm. Our velocity is otherwise too fast to perceive them at all.
When the body changes energetically into the energy body, that energy can perceive "other realities," or other aspects of the universe. What is presented before us, or what we see now this room, that wall, the street outside is not the only reality that exists.
Sorcerers try to bring the energy body back together with the physical body" (Taisha described the two as essentially "separated at birth"). Don Juan allegedly told Taisha that "through the sorcerers' practices, the energy body would come closer and closer until eventually one feels whacked on the back of the head. Through discipline and training sorcerers can make the energy body resemble the physical body, and the physical body to appear as the energy body."
The two main items are:
The magical passes and The recapitulation
He simply spelled it out.
If you do these things, "avenues, doors begin to open...mysterious doors." He said "I needed don Juan because I needed to explain to you..." but you don't need anyone.
The not doings are a different aspect of Tensegrity than the six series and the video passes and are considered the apex of Tensegrity. There is a binding force in the Universe that flows through us and all things. This binding force keeps us together just as it keeps the stars and the planets together. It can not be controlled. The ancient sorcerers tried to control it and failed. The not-doings serve to temporarily interrupt this force and allow one to slip for a moment into another possibility of awareness.
The useless hope is something that a warrior feels in his heart. He dances his movements of impeccability in the presence of infinity and his dance is his expression to the infinite, his display of his impeccability. His dance is a show of his gratitude to the infinite for his having had the opportunity to live. He dances his dance with all the flair and passion and precision that he can muster. He knows his dance is a dance of useless hope . . . but he has no other way, no other course for his expression. So he dances his expression to the infinite. He knows that he is up against inconceivable odds and realizes that he may never be able to find his freedom. So he dances before infinity to this useless hope.
"It takes us six years, basically, as children to become socialized," she said. "Kindergarten kids are still fairly uninhibited and free. Bobby has not really gotten a hold of them," Taisha said, smiling (her smile gave the feel of a light, open, childlike mood). "Their socialization has not really taken hold."
